Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet today, as some of you know, my friend Helen went into a hospice last weekend, she is now unconscious & not expected to wake up again...I have been caring for her two little boys (age 3 & 7 😰) when I can...but I just wanted to show you yesterday’s run...ok, it was a run with some walking thrown in here & there & a little bit scatty at the beginning until I warmed up...but the last 30 mins I had to have my Mr Smooth, so I kind of guessed when I was 30 mins away from home & played week 9 run 1, it was quite comforting & calming to hear his voice...but...when I looked at the time I turned everything off as I thought I’d be embarrassed at it taking me over an hour!!! But, I keep looking at it & you know what? I’m quite proud of myself...

Live everyday to the fullest...love your family & friends & give them all an extra tight hug tonight...do it, for me xxx

Oh God that's just utterly heartbreaking, life can be so cruel, those poor boys. I hope your running helps you over the coming weeks and months find some peace of mind, with what you are going through, somehow. Big hug my lovely xx
